    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    Buy up all the oversized oscars and pacus and plecos and such that people put in tanks that were too small for them and have a summer barbecue special where you sell them as food along with grilling recipes. Maye you and your employees could even throw them around like they do at Pike Place...

    The Brink (HBO) - June 21

    I always assume that all politicians are degenerate scumbags but this was a bit too over the top for me. I know it's supposed to be a comedy but everybody is a cliche and the drug dealing fighter pilot just doesn't even make sense.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Mac and Cheese is one of those things that even when it's bad it's good. I did overdose on it in college though. The water pump on my car went out right after I got to college which ate up all of my startup money and I hadn't found a job yet and I found a sale where they were selling store...

    I thought Noodle was talking about bratwurst or something. If your idea of high quality hot dogs is just Ball Park franks then I am sticking with my "not good enough to be pretentious about the toppings" stance. I eat hot dogs fairly often but I have never confused them with good food.

    I am going to have to rewatch it tonight. I wanted to wait until I was all done with dinner/chores/distractions so I could concentrate but it took too long and by the time I watched I was too sleepy/drunk to follow it.

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    That was such a weird year. After like 10 years of total shit it seemed so strange to be watching the 49ers win games. Just making the playoffs was such a big deal and then to go to the NFC Championship was crazy. I almost didn't want them to go to the superbowl just because it seemed like...

    +1. A lot of new shows screw me up with this though because I hit the skip ahead 30 seconds button and then realize that the intro is only 12 seconds long and have to rewind.

    I haven't been to Cincinnati or tried that so-called "chili" but it sounds like the kind of thing you would make if you were totally out of groceries and drug some shit out of the back of the pantry and made the best of it.

    I marathoned the S1 blurays last week and that show is so fucking good. I think I enjoyed it more the second time than the first. I never really took note of the music the first time through but it is so damn good (T-bone Burnett). This is really a show that you need to put the...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Nothing wrong with wanting your wife to stay in shape. I'll I'm saying is that sooner or later the looks are going to go and if you can't deal with that idea then you have problems on the horizon.

    You might as well come to terms with the fact that your wife is going to get ugly and you are going to be married to an ugly woman. It happens to everyone. The ugliest ones are the ones that go get plastic surgery and other extreme measures to try to stop it from happening. If your self esteem...

    +1. Hot dogs aren't good enough to be pretentious about. It's hose shaped meat paste. If somebody's dumping ketchup and barbeque sauce on a perfectly cooked piece of prime rib I'm as offended as anyone, but put anything you want on a hot dog.

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    They drafted some good players last year that will be starters and I think they drafted well this year as well which is why I don't think that they will be in the bottom of the league but there are a lot of question marks to say the least.

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    Last year they underachieved (largely due to injuries) and went 8-8. Of course we don't know what the new team will be because we have never seen them play together or under this coach, but I think they would be overachieving to go 8-8 next year based on the fact that they lost a good...

    Maybe it was a combination of that and the fact that they had been sitting in a snow drift with nothing to eat. Mercenaries tend to jump ship when they think the guy paying them is going to lose. I think she lied to Stannis about the vision and she really saw them getting pwned by the Boltons...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    I think that is the best solution. Super simple remote with just the 4 basic functions and maybe 4-way arrow buttons for very basic navigation and anything more complicated than that you pick up the phone/tablet.

    Yeah, it might be nice to not need a smartphone nearby but if you're typing using a remote control then that is bad times. I would like a remote for play/pause, fast forward, and rewind though.

    Probably nothing all that significant. Weber has a great reputation for making high quality grills that last a really long time. I imagine that is the most significant difference but I'm not familiar with the one you linked. My mini weber kettle is 10 years old and looks like it just came out...

    I actually have a windmill about 100 yards from the pond that's used to pump water. I wonder if it could be hooked up to an air pump as well. Unfortunately it's not on the deep end of the reservoir.

    I'm pretty sure the ice doesn't get anywhere near 6 feet thick. There is a similar sized reservoir in the neighborhood that is stocked with trout but they have a windmill driven aerator that keeps a hole in the ice on all but the coldest days. I imagine something like that would be pretty...

    Myth busting might be a little exaggeration, but he has a lot of opinions that go against common BBQ wisdom.

    I can't get it here, that is buying it online from their website. Sometimes I can get it slightly cheaper on Amazon. I freaking love it though and I can't find another brand that is similar. Everything you get at the store is all soft and sticky which is not jerky to me. I have a Big Green...

    You guys have me thinking with this stocked pond talk. I have a small reservoir that would be fun to have fish in. I think an attempt was made to stock it with trout probably 25 years ago but they did not survive the winter. It is maybe 5 acres and probably 8 or 9 feet deep in the middle. It...

    The stuff I was talking about was not from the gun but I have had plenty of jerky made by that thing. Some of it is okay but to me it's not really jerky if it doesn't have actual texture. I have had good sliced deer jerky as well, but it seems like most hunters don't know what they're doing...
